The rear end of my car squeaks and creaks when i go over bumps or the car gets torqued a little. When i go over a dip the suspension squeaks loud enough for me to hear inside the cabin. when its sitting still i can push down on the corners and itll squeak, especially the rear passenger side. I've had these installed in my car for a little over 6 months and less then 4000 miles. It hadn't bothered me at first because I figured that they were just settling/breaking in but it persists and might have even gotten worse. does anyone else have this? is it normal? suggestions?

I feel like its not dangerous, but i want to make sure as im making a 350 mile drive next weekend and would be really unhappy if it decided to give out half way though.
thankyou for all and any help.

(i installed these myself with the help of a buddy, followed all directions and checked over it multiple times)

 

Could be your bushings. They're are dried out or need replacement.

 

Common with the Tein SS (might be with all coilovers). What I did that reduced the noise dramatically is installed the plastic spacer or spring seat or whatever its called between the springs and the shocks and used some lubricating spray. The noise gets worse in the colder temps.. .but is better.

 

alright ill have to check both of those out. it could deff be the bushings, atleast on the back passenger side. they all do get worse the colder it is which is why it might seem to be getting worse when winter came

 

In that case it's not the bushings and its what I told you. Most likely that plastic spacer thingy (since I don't know wtf its called) might be cracked or splitting or just need some lubrication. The noise is coming from the spring moving against the metal seat while the car goes up and down. That's my theory that I used to approach the squeal/squeak and hence I did what I did. Kind of dimilar to brake squeal and hence you apply that anti squeal rubberized goo stuff on the back of the brake pad's metal plate so it cushions the metal to metal contact with the piston.

Tein sells those spacers separately to buy as well for a few bux. Install might be a bitch cuz not sure if it has a slit that you can slide it on or if you have to disassemble the entire top hats and stuff. I remember my first winter my car sounded Ike a dam NYC taxi cab. LoL

 

alright, im gonna have to grease them and see if it helps at all and if it does then i know thats the problem and can order new ones/figure out a solution. to be honest, im not even sure which part your talking about so i gotta do some research or look up the diagram. or if you have any pictures that'd be awesome too.
when i find out what its called ill call tein and see if i have to take everything apart to put them on.

 

<---- started on mine too... Holy shit this is funny, and yup it is cold here in Jersey

 

I can't believe this!!!!.....I just changed my mind about these coils...I rather have nothing that have my car squeaking like a 93 civic
